He joins the podcast to give a refreshingly honest glimpse into what it's really like being a doctor and how to best navigate the shortcomings of the healthcare system.Check out Shem's latest book - Man's 4th Best Hospitalhttps://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07NTXS9HL/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1This episode is sponsored by Speaker LabsUse the code PRECONCEIVED at checkout to get 50% off their incredible online public speaking course. https://courses.speakerlabs.ca/sixweekprogram
